need help in displaying data send by PC s/w controlling radio scanner.

[vu2iia]

Hi all,

I want to view data on 2X16 LCD coming from PC serial port, which controlls the Icom radio scanner R-10.

A PC programme called 'Unitrunker' decodes trunking data coming from FIRST radio and sends data to SECOND reciever (R-10) via serial port to follow the different channels ie it gives instruction to radio to tune to different frequencies to follow hopping frequencies.

Data is send in specific format. Please see the attatchment for the data format.This Data is exchanged between radio and PC. I want to see this data on LCD which is send to the second radio. I am especially interested in extracting information which in BCD format which actually gives radio information about the frequency.

I also want PIC to acknowledge back to PC in a specific format given in attatchment.

Can anybody help me in getting started. I intend to use pic16f828 or pic16f72.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

thanks in advance.
